MS Teams – Error Something Went Wrong 1001
Please help.
MS Teams stopped working for me recently – I typically access through the app on my Mac.
I have deleted and reinstalled the app.
I have deleted my cache.
I have an active subscription and can access the Teams app through my mobile app – and can access through desktop.
The app on my Mac won’t work for my work account – but will for a personal account.
So this is somehow an account set up issue – but I have no idea how to resolve.
I am a small business with no IT department!
Any guidance would be gladly received.
Thank you

Is It Legal To Sell Windows 11 Installation USBs
Hello. I was wondering if it is legal to sell Windows 11 installation USB flash drives to people so that they can go and buy them if they don’t know how to/want to make them in order to either repair their installation of Windows, or to install Windows for the first time on their computers. They are still paying Microsoft for the license. This would use the official Microsoft installation media creator, and this is giving people the same access to Windows 11 in the exact same way as if they were to create it themselves. The only difference is that they would be buying it from me, and they would install Windows 11 or repair their existing installation using a USB that I created for them. Thanks!

Time conversion
Hello,
I need some help with converting time.
I have a spreadsheet with start time, finish time and lunch break. An example is
07.00AM – 03.06PM less 0.30 lunch is a 7:36 hour day. I need a formula for the 7.36 to have the minutes only to a decimal so the result is 7.6. I just have the basic formula (Cell A-Cell B) – Cell 2 .
Any help greatly appreciated. I have the full minutes to decimal converter in excel already if that helps. I figure I could do a X Lookup on that but not sure about the formula structure.
Thanks

SCROLLING ROW PLACEKEEPER – HIGHLIGHTED
With all that Excel can do, there must be some easy way to highlight a row and make it scroll up and down as needed, but so far, I haven’t found it. It sure would make entering account codes to pre-loaded data much easier on an old, retired, half-blind CPA! Someone must have an easy fix for this little problem. If so, please let me know. Thanks.

Offline Security Intelligence Update in Defender for Endpoint – Queries
Hi Community
I reviewed the official MS guidance on the Offline Security Intelligence Update capability and wondering if there are any related resource that can help clarify the following queries:
1. What type of connectivity (ports / protocols) is required between Mirror Server and the MDE Clients (Linux systems)?
2. What type of server share permissions are required for the Linux systems to get the signature from the NFS File Share / Web Server?
3. Is there a N-2 (or N-3) capability as well. For example, if we want to roll back to 2 previous definitions ?
Thanks

Excel XY scatter plots are inaccurate
This is similar to https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/excel/scatter-chart-plots-wrongly-if-blank-cells-exist-in-input-range/m-p/1337190 , except plotting my data with blank cells works fine.
I have a sheet where I have cleaned up the data to select points that meet certain criteria. I have a formula with two IFs. If the x and y values meet the criteria, the Y value is copied into the current cell. If not, it gets “”. This looks good, I can take the average and standard deviation and get reasonable values, as if the “empty” cells were truly empty.
When I plot these selected data, things get strange. If I plot X and the selected Y values, it looks OK. If I add another Y series, it may be plotted wrong. In one case, the datapoints should show a negative slope, but the plot has a positive slope. If I plot the selected data second, it may be somewhat shifted to the left.
I think this used to work, but maybe I am recalling sheets with truly blank cells. I put a sheet like that in the attached workbook, and it is fine.
Is there a way to clear this problem such as using another character or NaN symbol? I don’t want to use zeros as I want the average, etc. to be correct.
Thanks,
John

#REF! Error When Inserting Any Year One Month Calendar
I was trying to insert an Excel provided One Month Calendar into the Project Plan template spreadsheet, but it is not formatting the cells correctly. I created a new tab and did a right click insert; see screenshot. As you can see, the formatting is not correct, not inputting the dates on the calendar.

CoPilot in Edge on Mac
It’s my understanding that “Draft with CoPilot” and “Rewrite with CoPilot” are available in Edge for the Mac. I have installed Edge, including the production version, Canary, and Beta. I signed in to my corporate email which is enabled for CoPilot for Microsoft 365. I cannot seem to see/enable CoPilot “draft..” or “rewrite…” I do have the CoPilot capability on the sidebar in my browser.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it not available?

Multiple apps not launching
Slightly weird issues popping up, got a new laptop recently (2024 ASUS Zephyrus G14) and have had issues with a few apps that have refused to load, not even open the GUI. The two more mainstream apps I’ve had this with are Vivaldi browser and Steam, both of which have popped up update windows which then immediately disappeared. With the other two (more niche) apps (Companion and openCountdown) absolutely nothing has appeared, no GUI, no warning, and no task manager process. Interestingly though, the setup windows for all of them function perfectly. One more exception is that openCountdown shows up an open (but apparently completely invisible) GUI judging by the taskbar icon.
The only one where I’ve been able to find a task manager process is Steam, where I get Steam and Steam Client processes. Vivaldi generated crash reports, but none of them triggered Windows crash warnings.
I’m not sure what the common thread is between these apps is that is causing issues, but would appreciate any help or advice.
Thanks,
Seb
Steps taken to fix, or troubleshoot (none of which made any difference):
Restarted system
Reinstalled apps
Run apps as admin
Reinstalled Windows (due to separate issue, but still made no difference)

No dynamic content available
Hello,
I have a very simple flow where I’m looking to send a customized email when a new item is added to list AND a column is equal to a certain value.
When adding a “Condition”, there is no dynamic content available. I’m expecting to see the column names from the list in “When a new item is created”. I have reviewed relevant posts but don’t seem to be relevant to my scenario.
I also tried adding “Get Item”, but it requires “ID” which I do not know how to reference a newly created ID. “
“Get Items” was able to populate the column names, but I’m only looking to check for the single new list item’s value.
Any help would be appreciated.

Wanting to pull data from multiple csv files using ‘get data’
Hi,
I am not seeing a ‘folder’ option in get data to merge a bunch of files I have sitting in a folder. All instructions I look up online say to do this by going to data –> get data –> folder but I don’t see folder option anywhere.

can’t add a new account to outlook
I was able to add my gmail account to outlook. I cannot add another third party account though. I think it is because the email address for the new account is the same as my Microsoft user name. Any ideas?
